What is a color correction? You may have seen photos floating around social media that show Khloe Kardashian transitioning through several stages of her hair color to achieve a cool, icy blonde. This is the perfect example of a color correction, although it is an extreme transformation from 2 ends of the spectrum, but something we see quite frequently! (Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the photo and a few photos of color corrections from our team!). Correcting color, adjusting tone or making a big change can have varying degrees of involvement, commitment, maintenance and toll on your hair. If you are thinking about taking the plunge into making a big change from dark brown to light blonde, or maybe you attempted an at home hair color that didn’t turn out quite like you planned, here’s what you need to know to prepare for the color correction process.

Having Realistic ExpectationsIt’s important to come in and chat with one of our stylists with a complimentary consultation to determine if the results you want are in the realm of possibility. If your hair is over-processed from previous chemical services or heat damage from the flat iron, pushing the envelope to achieve a big change may not be possible, immediately or at all.

Commitment A drastic change from dark to light, or removing color that you or another professional did that turned out completely unexpected can take time, it’s a marathon not a sprint. To protect the integrity of your hair’s health it may take several appointments with time in between (weeks, or even months) to achieve the end result. During the in-between stage from appointment to appointment your hair may not look anything like you what it to look like in the end. Our stylists will explain to you what your hair will look like in stages to get from where you are to where you want to be. It’s kind of like painting a wall from black to white, it will take priming, base coats, sanding and the final product is finally a nice white wall.

It’s a ScienceThere is a lot that goes into formulating for a color correction. Like the previous example I mentioned of painting a wall from black to white, there’s a few steps it must go through. First there is prep work, making sure the hair is in the prime state to handle what is to come by doing what we call a “strand test”. During a strand test the stylist will see what your hair can handle by coloring a small strand of hair, noting how fast the hair lightens, how well it takes color or how much stress it can handle. The results of the strand test will give us a good idea of the steps we need to take. Next is priming your hair, trying to remove as much as possible to start with a clean slate, while still keeping the hair healthy, this can take a few appointments. Next is starting to correct and manipulate what is left in the hair: warmth, red tones, uneven color, etc. and lastly is maintaining the end results and setting up a plan for future appointments and products at home. Which leads me to one of the biggest parts, your homework:

HomeworkThe color correction process goes beyond the doors of the salon, it takes homework from you to keep the process going. Using professional products that our stylists recommend will keep you hair in prime condition to go through multiple processes. Over-the-counter products from the grocery store or that you’ve ordered off Amazon may claim to work miracles, but may not be what you need to nourish and re-deposit moisture back into your hair. The products we use are full of wholesome, plant-based ingredients that are of the highest quality.

Patience It’s hard to be patient when you want your hair to look a certain way immediately, trust me, I’m the person that wants a change immediately, it’s hard to wait. But in the world of color corrections being patient can mean your hair stays stronger, healthier, and has less breakage and damage. Again, this is a marathon not a sprint and will likely take multiple appointments.

When making the decision to color your hair a home, we recommend thinking twice. Not only will seeing a professional know exactly where to place the color, may use different shades throughout, and has the knowledge to specially formulate specifically for YOU, it’s a relaxing experience that you owe to yourself. We look forward to seeing you and helping guide you through any color correction questions you have!

We are excited about all the excellent growth we have continuously pulsing through the salon. This year we introduced our level system, allowing guests to choose the price point they want from varying degrees of experience from our stylists. Our team has continued to work extremely hard staying on top of education and moving forward in their passion. Transitioning up in our level system is a huge accomplishment that takes a lot of hard work. At your future appointments, you will notice a change in the pricing of these stylists. Please join us in congratulating them for their tremendous accomplishments!

Holly Millar is now our in-house Artistic Director, leading and guiding our growing stylists that are newer to the industry. Through bi-weekly training courses, discussions, and mentorship, Holly is a born leader that has a true passion for education. We are proud of her continued dedication to her craft and willingness to help others grow.At this time Holly is unable to accept new guests, and we highly recommend pre-booking as many appointments as you are able to with her.

You have probably met Liana Merrill’s smiling face at some point during your visits to the salon with us. As a team, we have watched her grow and excel extremely fast since graduating from her program in August 2017. Liana began as an assistant to our stylists which then evolved into her role as a Junior Stylist. Beginning August 1st Liana will now be a Level 1 stylist. This is an amazing accomplishment and signal of hard work and dedication along with true passion.

Sandy Bobrowski has been welcomed by her guests with open arms as she transitioned from Virginia to eastern North Carolina, finding her salon home at Magnolia Jane. Sandy is very passionate and detail-oriented and continues to set new goals for herself in her career. Formally a Level 2 stylist, Sandy will now progress to a Level 3 stylist.

What exactly is it?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.

What is it known to help?

Acupuncture is used mainly to relieve discomfort associated with a variety of diseases and conditions, including:

Our resident wellness professional, Cyndi Bartlett, is fantastic and personal. Her services also include cupping and medical qigong/energy healing.

Walking up to the counter after a hair appointment can sometimes feel intimidating with all the product options. They can start to add up or even look the same. It's important to share with your stylist when you are on a hair budget and need to get the most bang for your buck. Here are a few examples of some product pairings that are perfect for daily use and under $65!

You’ve probably smelled vetiver at some point in your life and not even known it. The woody aroma, which comes from a tall, hardy grass grown from India to Haiti, is a popular ingredient in perfumery. Some fragrances heavily feature vetiver, especially colognes, and others use the ingredient as a “fixative” to help the scent last longer.

It’s quite complex, rich and deep, but it has an interesting twist to it because it has a bit of sparkly grapefruit. It’s a grass, but it’s the roots that are distilled for perfumery. The roots are really deep, and because of that, it’s a pretty hardy plant and it can survive in either dry or wet soil. It also helps prevent soil erosion.

— Kate Rosso. Associate Pure-Fumer

Vetiver is the new star ingredient in AVEDA's limited-edition 2018 Light the Way candle. The Light the Way candle has become an Earth Month tradition, with 100% of the suggested purchase price of the candle going to Global Greengrants to fund clean water projects around the world.

The Light the Way candle proceeds have also helped Haiti rebuild. Working together with Aquatic Resources Conservation Group (ARC), AVEDA is helping to construct three sustainably built homes in the community of Favette, with bathrooms, solar stoves and solar lighting.

The Favette Vetiver Depot and Community Center is also being built in partnership with Heifer International and International Flavor and Fragrance, one of our top aroma distributors. The center will be earthquake, tornado and flood-resistant, and will include a water catchment system to provide water for the community, plus offices, bathrooms and more, giving the people of Favette a place to gather.

In total, you’ve helped us give a grand total of $170,000 in grants for Haiti since 2010 — pretty amazing, right? Every time you light your new Earth Month candle, enjoy the vetiver aroma and think of the good work you’re helping us carry out in a very special place.

We also want to share that now through the end of April for every candle purchased in the salon your name will be entered to win $75 in AVEDA product! So come shop with us or schedule an appointment with us below. Of course you can always call 252-514-4867

For those who would love to donate but cannot make it to Art Walk we have provided a link for you above! Any amount make s a difference.

Please join us this Friday, April 13, from 5-8 PM at 236-D Middle Street, New Bern NC. All our proceeds from the evening will benefit the Lower Neuse River Keeper here in eastern NC. We have provided a link about to our donation page if you unfortunately cannot make it but would still love to help!

April is Earth Month and through AVEDA's Earth Month campaign salons and spas have raised over $56 million dollars to date since beginning in 1999. Thousands of AVEDA artists and guests around the world have come together pledging to protect clean water. With this precious resource at risk worldwide, we’re ready to join together to protect clean water both globally and locally.

One of the greatest inventions of all time — as far as we’re concerned — is dry shampoo. How did we ever live without it? Being able to extend a blowout, add texture to your hair when styling, or just skip a shampoo and sleep in is THE. BEST. EVER. We released our Shampure Dry Shampoo in 2015, and it quickly became a go-to for Artists and guests for its iconic aroma and non-aerosol formula. (Plus, people had been asking us to make a dry shampoo for ages, so it was about time!) Shampure Dry Shampoo was so popular that we also launched its sibling product, Shampure Thermal Dry Conditioner. Refresh your roots with Dry Shampoo and spritz midlengths and ends with Thermal Dry Conditioner for softness and heat protection on your non-wash days.

Another thing we love about Shampure Dry Shampoo? When you skip a shampoo and grab the dry stuff, you’re also saving water. It’s the perfect Earth Month product, as we devote all of April to raising awareness about clean water issues locally and around the world.

When you “go dry” for clean water this month, you’re making a difference — even if it feels small. When we say “go dry,” we don’t mean never shampooing your hair and only using dry shampoo for an entire month; there are plenty of ways you can conserve water, dry shampoo or no.

According to the EPA, the average American family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home. Here are a few seriously simple ways you can adjust your routine during Earth Month and beyond:

- Cut just three minutes from your shower and you could save about six gallons of water. (Hello, dry shampoo!) If you shower daily, you could save around 2,190 gallons (8,290 litres) of water a year!* (*Average shower in the U.S. uses 2 gallons per minute. Source: U.S. Geological Survey.)

- Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth and you’ll save approximately 50 gallons of water in a week.

- Skip meat one day a week and save hundreds of gallons of water. It takes about 1,840 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat. (*Source: USGS Water Science School)

- Make sure to switch all the lights off every day before you head to work and you can save about 32 gallons of water. It takes about two gallons (7.6 litres)* of fresh water to generate each kilowatt-hour of traditional electricity. So turn it off if you’re not using it! (*Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory.)

- Make sure your washing machine and dishwasher are filled to capacity before running them to cut energy and water use. You can save even more by air-drying your clothes on a clothesline.

Our classic Botanical Kinetics Deep Cleansing Clay Masque and Intense Hydrating Masque deliver instant benefits — Deep Cleansing Clay is great for congested, oily skin, and Intense Hydrating Masque gives you an extra dose of soothing hydration when you’re feeling dry and irritated. If an overnight masque is more your thing, try the Tulasāra Wedding Masque Overnight for face and eye, which do their best work as you sleep to brighten skin and visibly firm over time.

Soak away your stressIf you’ve been feeling super stressed at work or at home, reach for Stress-Fix Soaking Salts and take a long, warm bath — no devices allowed! Lock the door, light a Shampure candle, and Zen out. Stress-Fix’s aroma of certified organic clary sage and lavender is actually PROVEN to reduce feelings of stress.

Treat hands and feetYour hands and feet do some serious work every day, so give them the love and care they deserve. Add a few drops of Cooling Oil to a foot soak and massage to relieve any tension in your soles. Before you hit the pillow, apply Foot Relief to your soles and cover them with cozy socks to really soak in the moisture, then apply Hand Relief Night Renewal Serum and Hand Relief Crème to hands to even the look of skin tone and intensely moisturize.

Lastly...

Go to bed earlyIt’s called beauty sleep for a reason. Catch up on your zzzz’s by setting an early bedtime and sticking to it. Don’t distract yourself with your phone, TV, or any other noisy device that might interfere with your calm vibes. Put your phone on silent and relax with a book, or simply enjoy the quiet until your eyes begin to close. Sweet dreams!

We are so excited about the new services Cyndi brings to Magnolia Jane. Her services have become very popular in her short amount of time being a part of the team so don't wait to schedule your next wellness appointment!

Cyndi Bartlett, Acupuncturist

Cyndi knows wellness involves the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. Her philosophy has led her to train in multiple modalities to better help others attain the level of wellness which they seek. Having worked in several areas of the medical field in different capacities all of her life she decided to turn to a more holistic approach and explore acupuncture. She attended an information session at a local acupuncture school and received a treatment that left her amazed at the effect it had on the recurring migraines she battled for 15+ years. Pursuing acupuncture allowed Cyndi to provide others the same kind of relief. She attended AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine, receiving her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Cyndi's calming & nurturing nature puts you at ease during your treatments as she will always guide you through any questions you may have and puts your relaxation and wellness as her number 1 priority.

Body Accupuncture

The origins of acupuncture in China can be traced back thousands of years, making it one of the oldest and most long-standing health care systems in the world. Today, acupuncture is an effective, natural and increasingly popular form of health care that is being used by people from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds.Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes and focuses as much on the prevention of illness as on the treatment.

Modern research has demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on the nervous system, endocrine and immune systems, cardiovascular system, and digestive system. By stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can help to resolve pain, and improve sleep, digestive function, and sense of well-being. Hundreds of clinical studies on the benefits of acupuncture show that it successfully treats conditions ranging from musculoskeletal problems (back pain, neck pain, and others) to nausea, migraine headache, anxiety, depression, insomnia and many other diseases, symptoms and conditions.

Facial Accupuncture

A wonderful 100% non-surgical alternative to Botox & fillers, facial acupuncture utilizes the techniques of traditional Chinese medicine along with modern-day science to restore balance of energy that flows throughout the entire body. Natural collagen is also increased in the skin leaving guests with a youthful glow and reduction in facial wrinkles. Those with acne, dark circles, dark spots, age spots as well as other skin conditions can also benefit from the treatment. Also very relaxing!

Cupping

One of the oldest methods of Chinese medicine, cupping utilizes cups to create a vacuum that is anchored to the skin which is then pulled upward to stimulate blood flow by creating local mild trauma and drawing toxins from the muscle, deploying fresh blood and oxygen to the area.Aside from the treatment of pain, cupping can also be used to treat respiratory conditionssuch as bronchitis and asthma; arthritis; gastrointestinal disorders; depression; and menstrual cramp.

Qigong Energy Healing

Medical Qigong is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine, and is one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine.A relaxing escape from the stress and anxieties of life for those who may be sensitive to needles or seeking to experience a new way of healing. This treatment approach is perfect for managing stress, anxiety, depression and general wellness and can also be combined with acupuncture treatment.

Disruptions in the electromagnetic energy of the body occur throughout our lifetime as a result of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, surgery, suppression of emotions, and aging. The goal of qigong is to correct these bio-energetic imbalances and blockages. This enables the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system and the immune system, relieve pain, regulate hormones, and strengthen and release deep-seated emotions and stress.

The third and final post on our month of dry skin remedies courtesy of AVEDA. These on and off days teasing us with warmer spring days does have me feeling like there is hope again for my dry skin, but until then I will continue to fight back with moisturizing products! Let's discuss the difference between rich vs. soft

They both increase moisture instantly and help your skin retain it for 24 hours, with vital plant energy that stimulates hydration, helping recharge your skin cells—to power skin's natural moisture system. Dermatologist-tested. Non-acnegenic. To use you smooth onto face, neck and décolleté a.m. and p.m.

The main difference between the two products is the Rich is for those with dry to very dry skin and the Soft is for those with normal to all skin types. Maybe you have very dry patches on your skin but you feel that the rich creme on your T-zone could be too heavy; you can use it as a spot moisturizer. I tend to use more moisturizer on the outside of my mouth and cheeks as those are usually my dryer areas and just use a little on my forehead and nose where I am more oily.

The best part is you can tailor all these products to how they work best for you!

This week's installment of battling the enemy that is dry skin caused inevitably by the crisp weather is about moisturizing! AVEDA has three great knockout products I use every day that have made a huge difference in the softness and just overall look of my skin this winter.
